Screening test results….thoughts?

Hi All, I had my results (pic below) and due to my age (40) felt quite reassured. Scan went well, nasal bone etc
I’m just wondering if you would opt for any further testing? My initial reaction is no as I know my age has driven up results.
would you or or would you just finally try and enjoy this pregnancy! 😬
thank you x

You have excellent results. I got high risk with both pregnancies so had the Nipt who came back low risk. Because of my age (37 and 42) I would have done it even if I had low risk, and also because I would have been too anxious otherwise throughout pregnancy.

but maybe if I had such excellent results like you I wouldn’t have. They are pretty much perfect. So I’d say it depends how you feel.

Thank you for taking the time to respond xxx I am naturally quite an anxious person but I think you’re right, there’s no reason to suggest any issues so I’m going to try and finally relax! I never realised that stress that would come with being pregnant a bit later, both of mine were born in my early twenties so this is a whole new can of worries unlocked! 😂 ❤️

I think you’re right to relax.

congrats on the new pregnancy, you’ll be ok, you’ve done it twice already. I’m more relaxed now with my 2nd too.
